Tesla has launched its Cybertruck in Canada.
As spotted by Tesla North, the electric vehicle company began sending emails on August 8th to Canadian customers who had placed reservations for the Cybertruck. The base Dual Motor all-wheel drive (AWD) model starts at $137,990 CAD, while the Tri Motor (“Cyberbeast”) AWD configuration starts at $165,990. Deliveries will start this October.
It should be noted that rear-wheel drive Cybertrucks, which are set to cost less than these higher-end Cybertruck models, aren’t coming until next year. Therefore, your only options for now are the pricier Dual or Tri Motor trucks.
Also important to consider is that the Cybertruck is subject to Canada’s Federal Luxury Tax on certain vehicles that cost more than $100,000, as spotted by some X (Twitter) users:
In Canada, the Cybertruck (AWD) is subject to the Federal Luxury Tax which amounts to $8,171
According to the Canadian Goverment website, only vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 3,856 kg or less fall within the criteria of being taxed.

In other words, that works out to around $8,200 and $13,800 extra on the Dual and Tri Motor models, respectively.
